Unsteady-state shear is acknowledged to be more energy-efficient in the mitigation of membrane fouling. In this study, we aimed to understand the effects of three dimensional (3D)-spacer configuration and their vibrating orientation on the extent of fouling mitigation in a submerged flat-sheet membr...
